Martoccia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016

The 2016 Martoccia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a powerful and exceptionally refined wine from what is widely considered a legendary vintage in Tuscany. It exhibits a deep garnet red colour with luminous reflections. The nose is highly complex and expansive, offering concentrated aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and dried figs, seamlessly integrated with sophisticated notes of tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, leather, and elegant balsamic spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and monumental, showcasing a perfect harmony between its rich fruit core, vibrant acidity, and dense, velvety tannins. This Riserva is built for long-term aging, concluding with an incredibly persistent and sapid finish that lingers with notes of savory spice and earthy minerality.

Mushrooms, truffles, lemon peel, dried cherries and dried roses on the nose. Balanced and layered, with a full body and firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh at the end. Drink or hold.
